Rumor: Nintendo started talking with third-parties about NX at E3, positive reception; NX more than a year away

They have hardly done anything with third parties.... and when 3rd parties do not want to release on your platform, incentives need to be in place otherwise what happened to the wii-u and a couple of years in for the wii happens.

Yes I do expect them to start paying 3rd parties to make games for their systems, thats what MS/Sony do...

lol sony and microsoft pay third parties so that THEY DON'T RELEASE THEIR GAMES ON WII U.

the idea of paying for multiplatform content is imoral and ridiculous and no company with self respect would do that, not to mention it's a money bleeder.

Well you've been banned so probably cant reply... but... no Sony/MS do not pay so they dont release games on the Wii-u... most 3rd party games that have been sold on the wii-u have sold terribly so companies dont bother. It's just a fact of money, why would you release on a product that doesnt sell enough copies to make money. The knock on effect is that people who like 3rd party games wouldnt get a nintendo console if they already own a PS/XB and arnt fussed about nintendo games. Thus less people buy 3rd party games on the Nintendo console, and thus the circle is complete.

Nintendo need to be helping publishers, even if it's marketing deals - thats money saved by the publisher, stuff like that would make it more appealing to make games for their consoles.
